i need to burn a PDF from some stuff (images & their vector children) that's represented on-screen. using andrew trice's nifty bitmap capture technique, works fine. but in some instances i need to re-do/rescale some of the images, etc. which i need to do "off-screen" (or wherever) as the user doesn't need to see this.
i've tried doing a new Image() & loading the new image & adding the required children but when i capture the bitmap to send back to the server to burn into a PDF all i get are the new image's children,ie the image itself is missing. any suggestions? more to the point, is this the correct way to handle this? should i be using another approach? thanks.
